Roasted Shrimp Scampi

raw shrimp

olive oil

salt and pepper

Remove tail and de-vein shrimp (this is the part that grosses me out, but I found that the frozen shrimp at Costco are already de-veined!). Place shrimp on cookie sheet and baste with olive oil. Grind sea salt and pepper over them. Place in 400 degree oven for 4-7 minutes (depending on the size of shrimp). These are delicious, but make sure to not overcook them, or they will be chewy.
